Interior stylists, guesthouses and small retailers work to different rhythms than a single household order. This page is where that side of Ekhowley Co lives: sample requests, repeat quantities, and the practical questions that come up when you are furnishing twelve rooms instead of one flat.
Guesthouses, interior stylists and small retailers work with us because the range is small enough to know by heart and specific enough to specify from. Every listing carries the details you need to quote, order and reorder without a second email.
Dimensions, material origin, care notes and the maker's name sit on the page, not in a PDF you have to request. Stylists can pull a spec sheet straight into a client proposal; guesthouse managers can check whether a runner fits a specific table before ordering twelve.
We sort the catalogue by where an object lives and what it is made of, not by season. That means a guesthouse refit can be planned room by room, and a retailer restocking stoneware does not have to scroll past candles and cushions to find it.
Sample requests, bulk quantities and lead times for larger orders run through a separate trade channel, so a stylist sourcing forty mugs is not competing with a single gift order. We confirm availability against the studio's production run before anything is promised.
If you are weighing up how a trade order moves from enquiry to delivery, the order process walks through sampling, confirmation and dispatch. For the full range by room and material, see what we carry.
Three pieces that come up again and again when a guesthouse in Greyton refits a breakfast room or a stylist needs a runner that survives a shoot and a season.
Each listing carries size, care notes and the studio behind it, so you can brief a client without chasing specs.
Four hand-thrown mugs in speckled clay
Thrown in a two-person Woodstock studio, glazed in a matte oat that lets the iron speckle of the local clay read through. Roughly 320 ml each, so a guesthouse breakfast tray feels considered rather than generic.
See the mug setStonewashed linen in deep olive, 180 cm
Mid-weight European flax, stonewashed twice so it arrives soft. The deep olive fades gently toward a softer green over the first year, which suits long dining tables and sideboards in guest rooms alike.
See the linen runnerHand-woven basket with a fitted lid
Woven by a KwaZulu-Natal cooperative from ilala palm dried on site. The tight weave holds its shape empty, and the flush lid keeps dust off stored linen between guest stays.

Stylists, guesthouses and small retailers work to a different rhythm than a first-flat shopper. Here is what changes when you order through the trade side of Ekhowley Co.
Request a stoneware mug, a cut of the washed linen or a section of basket weave before placing a guesthouse order. You see the glaze speckle and the actual dye tone on your own table, not on a screen.
Because listings sit under room and material rather than season, you can reorder the same oat mug set or olive runner for a second guest room months later and get a piece that still reads as part of the same scheme.
Every listing carries size, care notes and material origin. That is enough to drop into a mood board or a housekeeping sheet without chasing the maker for details you already need on paper.
Bulk pricing applies on application, so a twelve-room guesthouse and a single styling job are quoted differently. Tell us the room count and the mix, and the quote list is built around that.
Each piece names the studio or cooperative behind it, from the Woodstock pottery to the KwaZulu-Natal weavers. Useful when a client asks where the basket in the corner actually came from.
Add ceramics, textiles and storage to a single quote list instead of splitting orders across suppliers. Delivery runs across South Africa, so a Cape Town studio and an upcountry guesthouse work from the same list.
